These Regulations make changes to give effect to sections 21 to 24 of the Local Electoral Administration and Registration Services (Scotland) Act 2006 (asp 14) which provide for enhanced anti-fraud measures when a person applies (under Schedule 4 to the Representation of the People Act 2000 (c. 2)) to vote by post, by proxy, or by post as a proxy as an absent voter. These Regulations deal with the checking of personal identifiers in relation to the counting of postal votes.
